Another close battle but we lose out again, Runners-Up for third season in a row.
We finished without a trophy this season as our cup runs were poor especially
our collapse in the Champions League against Benfica, a tie we led 3-0.

This season wasn't close, Man Utd were far too good and lift the title for a third time
in five years, they stretch their title win record to 34 to our 25.
Our Champions League performance was much better as we made the last four.

So straight in the middle of our 2 legs with Barcelona we have a big
top of the table clash with Man Utd, if we lost it would be hard to see
us able to catch them, so far this season they have thumped us 5-0 at
Old Trafford and then beat us 3-2 at Wembley, we will face them again
at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi-Finals and maybe again in the CL?

Anyway here is how the game went in front of a crowd of 82,236 at Woodward Park.

This didn't go so well either, we had 2 games in hand and were 4pts behind Man Utd.
Well we blew it, we suffered a 3-2 loss to Brentford, that result was sandwiched by those
Champions League games so very very bad times, we did keep our hopes alive with a
late win over Huddersfield but a 3-3 draw with Oxford saw the gap at 3pts with 2 games left.

A season that could have delivered so much more but Man Utd continue
to inflict more misery on us, we finish as runners-up for a third season in
a row and for the sixth time in seven years, Man Utd have won the title
five times in those years and take their tally to 36 titles, We managed
to end the season in a bit of style by lifting the FA Cup for a thirteenth time.

We will do battle with Man Utd again, this time it's for the Champions League

Yes we have met in the final five times, we lost the first meeting but we have
won the last four. We have won the CL eleven times and Man Utd have lifted
the trophy nine times. Real Madrid hold the record with sixteen titles.

It won't be the end of this save though and it won't be the end of Stopsley Utd either.
More news on my future plans soon, can we win the Premier League and Champions
League and end the era in glory? gonna be tough to get one of those anyway.
